Back Home Again

John Denver
Country Roads Collection [Disc 2]

There's a storm across the valleyClouds are rolling inThe afternoon is heavy on your shouldersThere's a truck out on the four laneA mile or more awayThe whining of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from ridingOn your prayers up in the skyAnd ten days on the road are barely goneThere's a fire softly burningSupper's on the stoveIt's the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Hey, it's good to be back home againSometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friendYes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

There's all the news to tell himHow you've spent your timeWhat's the latest thing the neighbors say?And your mother called last FridaySunshine made her cryYou felt the baby move just yesterday

Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes, it isSometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friendYes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

And all the time that I can lay this tired old body downTo feel your fingers feather soft upon meThe kisses that I live for, the love that lights my wayThe happiness that living with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know ofJust spending time with youIt's the little things that make a house a homeLike a fire softly burningSupper on the stoveThe light in your eyes, it makes me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home againSometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friendYes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it isSometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friendHey, it's good to be back home againI said, hey, it's good to be back home again
